Simply A Masterpiece

Perfect cast and a good story

Absolutely Fantastic

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I rate 'Bulworth' an A for degree of difficulty and ambition, C- for execution. Reading through the reviews here, this is clearly a polarizing film. I believe this is ultimately the legacy of the film, which is to say 'Bulworth' will never be remembered as a truly great film.Where this film falls short of its mark is in the limousine liberal rhetoric Senator Bulworth spouts, or raps embarrassingly. After the first few rhymes, which were sort of cute, it becomes cringeworthy. His rap is the worst I've ever heard, its so bad some might see it as mockery of legitimate hip-hop. We get the same political ideology of the liberal elites of the Democrat Party. Its like a broken record, its sounded good or decades, but when these Democrats get into positions of power in government, nothing changes. I would expect conservatives to dislike this, but I'd many progressives are do as well.I do give credit to Beatty for a courageous effort, but the film falls short of its high ambitions. The legacy of 'Bulworth' is really the legacy of the 1960s liberal/radical generation, a lot of talk and theater, no meaningful action or change. The socio-economic standing of poor, inner city African Americans has hardly changed in 50 years.

That is seriously messed up. I had no idea that cheating on your spouse was such a positive thing, as long as your spouse is white, and the person you cheat with is black. Not to mention the tired old nonsense about how Insurance companies are making healthcare expensive and blah, blah, blah…..look at how absurdly expensive healthcare has become now that the government has put their fat lazy fingers into it. My premiums have tripled, And I no longer can go to see a decent doctor, or go somewhere like Mayo Clinic, but I have to go to a dirty, sleazy downtown hospital where the nurses act like doctors. Thanks for NOTHING Obama. What a load of crap. The funny thing is, this movie seemed cool to me when I saw it as a young teenager, because I was still a kid, and had no idea how idiotic the whole socialist program was, and I was too young to be insulted as a white woman because I was still young enough to have some white guilt.

Bulworth (1998) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Warren Beatty wrote, produced, directed and stars in this political satire about Sentaor Bulworth who days before the election puts a hit out on his own life due to his depression. He eventually has a mental breakdown and goes on a round of interviews where he decides to tell the truth about America and politics. BULWORTH was pretty controversial when it was first released and it seemed like the studio didn't want anyone to know it was out but I remember feeling it was an incredibly fresh and rather honest movie. Seeing it all these years later it's rather amazing to see how relevant it remains in both its message and look at politics. I think you have to give Beatty all the credit in the world for doing a film like this because you know so many people would be offended by it. It is rather strange to see so many people getting upset over a movie so can you imagine the outrage if a Senator really did do this stuff? The film certainly works because Beatty's performance is just so great and believable. Seeing someone like Beatty rap, dress gangster and being put in all of these situations is just downright hilarious. The scenes inside the black church where he talks honestly about everything from liquor to O.J. Simpson is just priceless but so are various other rants that he goes on. People get up in arms about what's being said but if you actually listen to it the film has a very good message. The supporting players are just as good as Oliver Platt, Halle Berry, Sean Astin, Don Cheadle, Paul Sorvino and Jack Warden all deliver fine performances. The screenplay certainly hits on all the topics it wants to speak on, although the one flaw is that the film does drag on a bit and some things begin to be repeated. Still, BULWORTH is a very sharp and very funny look at politics and Beatty really does give it his all.

Warren Beatty co-wrote, co-produced, directed, and was the star in this political satire/ comedy. He should have given the part of Bulworth to a slightly younger --and funnier actor.Beatty just isn't funny. When you see a movie that continually tells you about things that everyone knows (money in the U.S.A. is not fairly distributed)..and other social in-justices, it becomes tiresome. At times i felt I should have been laughing, .... but its so "clever" and so very "witty" --(and repetitive)), i just watched and watched. The relationship between Bulworth and Tina (Halle Berry)has ..zero..chemistry, and is a little ridiculous. This was NOT Berries finest hour !! The film walks the fine line between humor and politics. It is an average piece of work--strangely not funny--and easy to forget.
